Book excerpt: In this book, the author embarked on a fascinating journey in search of traces of the legendary playwright and poet, William Shakespeare, when he made London his main residence. This quest required extensive research, which, in the pre-digital era, must have been a daunting task. The account reveals a tumultuous period in English history, far from the idyllic image painted by many. It was a time of "theater wars," where rival houses competed fiercely, engaged in intense mudslinging and infighting. Amidst this backdrop, the elusive Shakespeare strove to mingle with high society, seeking inspiration for his works by eavesdropping on the conversations of patrons at a local pub. The journey of discovery reveals an intriguing portrait of an enigmatic figure, elusive and mysterious, shrouded in the drama of a turbulent time in English history.
